Hyderabad: Authorities are examining a FASTag traffic challan system to recover fines from motorists who violate traffic rules. The proposed system could collect penalties without requiring direct police intervention.
The traffic department has discussed collecting traffic challans through FASTag under the HMDA’s proposed system. HMDA is currently examining whether the mechanism can work effectively.
Under the proposed model, technology would link traffic violations with the concerned motorist’s FASTag account. The system could then recover the fine from the FASTag wallet within a specified period.
Officials are also examining the possibility of integrating the system with major roads within Hyderabad’s city limits. The Outer Ring Road (ORR) is among the key areas being considered for FASTag integration.
